Upside down, you await my arrival

9 months deep after a fought out battle

Yet here I am…

Longing to be in the presence of your arms

Longing to be surrounded by those waiting at the entrance

Not long till you crown me King as I enter

The bright red clothing stripped away as you hold me still

Still in your comforting arms

Your elation at the mere sight of me after a gruelling 8 hours

Great merriment and jubilation consumes the ward

Now I have arrived

The first of four, yet no words to introduce myself

A boisterous cry from the depths of my lungs

I thank you Mama for bringing me into this world

I thank you for the lessons taught

I thank you for the lessons yet to learn.
